Avengers: Infinity War - 15 Last Minute Rumours You Must See

10. Steve Dies, Falcon Or Bucky Becomes The New Cap

Captain America RIP

The Rumour: After Captain America got a surprise stay of execution in Civil War, he'll meet his belated demise at Thanos' hand at the end of Infinity War, with either Bucky (Sebastian Stan) or Falcon (Anthony Mackie) taking up the Cap mantle for the future.

How Likely Is It?: There's a very strong possibility Cap will die in the movie, yes, but the prospect of him staying dead, with the Eye of Agamotto in the mix? Not so much.

With Bucky seemingly taking up a new "White Wolf" persona since arriving in Wakanda, it'd be a bit hasty to be calling him Cap already. Falcon, meanwhile, could symbolically pick up Cap's shield by the end of Infinity War, but having him literally become the new Captain America by the end of Infinity War could risk not feeling appropriately earned.

For Cap dying, we'll go with a solid 7/10 prospect. New Cap, though, will probably be saved for Avengers 4 if it even happens at all, so it's a 2/10.
